Road House (2024)

Punches Everywhere

[7/10 · 21 March 2024]

Well Jake is somehow smart to take this kind of a movie. I mean he got motivation to make this abs like they're chiseled. A good movie for a one time watch as it's always usual. No new story but I loved the action in Water. The boat scenes can really give you something you're watching.

There is this humor and music compliments the intense fighting scenes. I believe there can be more of these scenes but they're not stupid to ride only with action on an expensive boat.

What I actually missed is that romance you get in this movies but Why should everyone get fun?

Overall a one time prime watch for all of the audiences.

Sapne Vs Everyone (2023– )

Really Good But Still Missing Something

[8/10 · 17 January 2024]

If you've watched this this is something good. Mama looks like Kingpin from Marvel and his terror is the same. I guess writer thinks of him while writing this.

Poetry was amazing but here comes something which lacks clarity. How come Jimmy's character talks in rhymes even though he never did show a love of poetry in the show. In real life no one talks like that. The guy who played is really good.

Prashant was beautiful throughout the series and that's a good thing. His acting is of another level as he's shown theatre artist.

What I believe to be a bad thing is there was no justice for Nikhil character. There's no way he can escape like he did nothing. I guess he's still doing the job which is not good. Also you can't keep Manny away for the whole show and show it like an ace player. He just appears in finale and takes the credit for blowing Mama.

Otherwise the series is good. Deserves a second season.

12th Fail (2023)

The Indian Underdog

[8/10 · 2 January 2024]

Impressive movie, Although still lacks the perfection but crafted beautifully. This is the art of storytelling and you will definitely gonna enjoy it. I believe this is the most brilliant casting in many years. What a performance by the lead pair. It was so simple yet effective. Every Manoj rarely gets a shraddha to help in achieving dreams but this one is sure to keep. Music hits the right note even though it's not very much in the movie. Story keeps you glued through the screen and that's what movie is all about. You're eager to know what happens with every moving frame and this is what a good movie is about. Don't miss this!!

Tumse Na Ho Payega (2023)

The book was definitely better

[5/10 · 29 September 2023]

I read How I braved Anu Aunty in 2013 and was waiting for the story of Alma Mater here before watching this movie. The movie takes some other track and that's where I lose it as a reader and viewer. You can change city , you can change the idea but you can't change the soul of a story and expect it to work. I was amazed by the struggle Varun went through to start his company but I am searching for it in this story.

Spending jail time is not that struggle, you can crack jokes and go there. I would definitely want to see another movie where The Alma mater is selling t-shirts and not Maa's magic selling tiffins.

The story which could've been Bangalore days is lost in Mumbai local.

Guns & Gulaabs (2023– )

It's watchable

[7/10 · 21 August 2023]

If you're looking for something with slow pace writing than this is the show.

Acting wise the cast did good and music definitely reminds you of 90s. Retro style makes this show funny and Rajkumar Rao excels in this slow paced drama. However crime in this show is not par with the previous shows of Raj and DK but they still managed to create a good drama out of it.

Dulquer Salman got wasted in this show as his role could've been better. The ending is bit messy so I reduced a star coz of it.

Technical mistakes are there all over the show so if you're keen watcher you can expect disappointment with it otherwise it's a good timepass with not so much to hook.

Oppenheimer (I) (2023)

Murphy's law of acting

[9/10 · 21 July 2023]

I will definitely going to watch it again on IMAX when I get the chance as this is some high quality story telling. The movie is worth the hype created before the release.

Cillian Murphy did an exceptional job and no one will gonna surprise if he gets the Oscar for it.

Robert Downey also steals the show whenever he got a chance to do his job. Emily and Florence did their part however small it was but impact will remain.

The music shines in this movie in every frame. You will definitely feel the music going through your veins with the scene and that's brilliance of Nolan and his team. This is a 💎 gem.

Lust Stories 2 (2023)

Lust is missing, the stories are there

[5/10 · 29 June 2023]

The problem with these kind of movies lies with the lust they want to sell. Even without those scenes the story can work and believe me this time the stories are fine.

The first story must not be Rated A if it was not in this movie. The story contains nothing in the name of lust.

The second Story portray some kind of illegal behavior but still you don't sympathize with any of the characters.

The third story in which Tamannah and Vijay is there wants to surprise you but fails miserably. What you can predict was there in the end and you are left unsatisfied there.

The fourth story which is predictable also leaves you puzzled about the name of this movie.

Atleast try to justify the title of movie.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)

You blink you miss!!!

[9/10 · 1 June 2023]

This is one of those animated movie where you will cherish every frame. Theatre watch is must for this movie, storyline is perfect and you will be amazed by the detailing.

One of the best concept and the family bonding they showed in this movie is incredible. Lots of spider-man and Finally Indian version is what I was waiting for. Music is fine and complement the action sequences.

The comedy is good and emotional moments are also there. You will definitely enjoy this ride and in the end you will want more and more of it. Personally it is one of those movies where you will go again and again to enjoy this brilliance.

The Last of Us (2023– )

As good as game

[9/10 · 17 January 2023]

If they're making all episodes like pilot it's gonna be awesome. I love how they kept the originality of the game in the show. Effects are good, they did justice with the casting. Background score gives you the game vibe. Let's hope they don't change the story trying to get better. I believe they can do fine even if they copy the whole game shot to shot.

The two famous game of thrones actors are doing justice with their characters in this show also.

If you're fan of this game, you'll definitely gonna enjoy the show. If you're just for the hype then it can amaze you with the story and concept.

The Map of Tiny Perfect Things (2021)

It's not bad it's incredibly good

[7/10 · 22 August 2021]

I just think the low ratings are due to because if they're explaining everything in so much detail why few of things remain unexplained. This movie is worth watching despite you love logic or not. A teenage story beautifully told.

Friends: The Reunion (2021 TV Special)

The One With the Reunion

[8/10 · 27 May 2021]

A treat for fans. It's great to see the cast after so many years and Phoebe still being Phoebe. They'll be there for you definitely to entertain you. Some of the table read brings back the old memories.

Aspirants (2021– )

TVF nailed it again

[8/10 · 14 April 2021]

Personally I love to watch Naveeen Kasturia in anything. He is a gem and in this series he acted very well. The direction is amazing and music compliments every frame. Even if you're not an aspirant, you will definitely enjoy it. Let's watch it.

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)

This is not a movie this is art

[9/10 · 18 March 2021]

And DCEU breathes again, this was the movie everyone was looking for. Thanks to fans who ran campaign like #ReleaseSnyderCut and the result is amazing. This is a must watch movie.

The Girl on the Train (2021)

Even Hollywood version screenplay was not this bad

[5/10 · 26 February 2021]

The book was great no doubt but this movie seems to be based on the movie. The only good thing in this movie is Aditi, otherwise you can skip this for sure and watch the original one.

To All the Boys: Always and Forever (2021)

This is actually good

[7/10 · 13 February 2021]

It is quite good. Cheesy maybe but hit on spot for the school love. As they're evolved from letters to text messages, this ending is expected. The leading lady did a good job and her cuteness is what makes this movie watchable. Happiness is everywhere in this movie and it's good.

Our Friend (2019)

The story is amazing

[7/10 · 10 February 2021]

I think when a movie is based on a true story, the chances are you will expect a lot from it. This movie meets that, I think the timeline chunk they created is because you can be happy in between. Otherwise the other half of movie will make you only cry and that's not good. A good attempt and must watch.

Gullak (2019– )

Well you're in for an amazing treat

[9/10 · 15 January 2021]

This is the perfect comedy based on middle class family. It gives you perfect vibe and characters around you. You will laugh, you will cry and you will definitely suggest this to everyone you know.

Leaving Las Vegas (1995)

This tells you lot more than you want to hear

[8/10 · 14 January 2021]

This movie is quite good, when the movie ends you can feel the power of love. The acting is brilliant by leads and it's a powerful movie. I think this will remain one of the best movies based on Vegas.

Mystic River (2003)

This is good

[8/10 · 11 January 2021]

This film leaves you with a void. The void you can understand if life is unfair to you and problem about life is it is unfair to all. This movie is not about surface meaning it's about how deep you can dive in that river of sorrow just like Dave Boyle was diving in whole movie.

Fighting with My Family (2019)

Feel good film

[7/10 · 8 January 2021]

It's a nice movie, One of the underrated movies of this year.

Kaagaz (2021)

Pankaj Tripathi Nailed it Again

[7/10 · 7 January 2021]

The story and direction is good but it gets better by acting of Pankaj Tripathi. The story grips you till end and the humor is perfect according to the situation. This movie is must watch.

Cobra Kai: December 19 (2021) Season 3, Episode 10

The perfect ending for a new beginning

[10/10 · 2 January 2021]

Well this is how you end a season and I think season 4 will come early. What a way to start a year by binge watching this series. Cobra Kai Never Die.

AK vs AK (2020)

It's a Vlog not a movie

[6/10 · 24 December 2020]

Instead of showing DVD library with iconic movies they could've shown much better cinematography. The problem with the movie is only Anil Kapoor is doing acting, all others are just part of a vlog. They're just standing there and doing dialogue delivery. That takes the soul out a movie. Even with this kind of movie the supporting cast is important. They give reference of Taken in the movie, well Taken was much detailed and full of thrill. This movie is a story not a script, the idea was definitely good but execution missed everything. It's hard to believe that Motwane who once directed that iconic chase scene of Udaan can't show an iconic actor running for his daughter's life. AK vs AK can be a lot better than this.

Tenet (2020)

Ruined for those who watched Dark

[7/10 · 8 December 2020]

I think if anyone watched Three seasons of Dark they are in good position to predict the end of the movie around halftime. It's not the first time there mind is seeing this. Probably Dark ruined the movie for me not the sound effects.

Jallikattu (2019)

Worthy of official entry for oscars

[8/10 · 25 November 2020]

I'm happy that this movie is finally going for Oscars from India. At least we have a chance. This movie is pure art as you will enjoy the scenes and madness of whole village amazing background music.
